If he declared all Israelis to be Eskimos, would that make them Eskimos?

[Digital Sniper]

Can't wait to see these gay agenda groups file lawsuits against Islamist cultures. That oughta be an interestin' one to watch...

Hate to put a damper on the festivities, but isn’t Jewish Law really,really, really GOD’S Law? I mean, we’re talking stoning here.

I’m just sayin’.

"We want religious people to know that we want to adhere to Halacha. But we also want them to understand that a homosexual is born the way he is and has no choice."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, just as Alouette is in Israel celebrating the birth of her 20th grandchild conceived in the good old heterosexual way!

I am so sick of these deviants, when it comes to replicating the Jewish People they are nowhere. They disgust me. They can't compete with me. I rule the Jewish world!

How..disappointing, 2,000 yrs to get a country back, and 20 yrs to screw it up.

Also, women are not commanded to "be fruitful and multiply" according to most opinions in Orthodoxy.

Really?

These must be the same folks who won't routinely listen to a shofar on the first day of the seventh month.

I don't get it. These "gay Orthodox" people have to ask their "rabbis" for permission to sit together in shul (and will supposedly obey them), but they simply throw out Halakhah's ban on homosexuality? This being the case, why is it necessary to have a rabbi's permission to sit together? Why not just plow right ahead on that too?

Islamists threaten the very existence of the Jewish state and this is the news there.

God, what You will.

I just read a responsa on whether an individual can be a practising homosexual and a Torah observant Jew, here:

Although I’m not Jewish, I find the reasoning in the Responsa fascinating. I would appreciate any commentary or perspective you can provide on this difficult subject. Many thanks.

Feh!

[Article] In contrast, lesbian sexual relations are not as controversial from a halachic perspective, since there is no biblical prohibition.

Not so fast, guys. The subject of lesbianism was addressed by Maimonides, who condemned it on two grounds, that it was i) "rebellion" and ii) "practices of Egypt".

[Nachum]

I am upset that homosexuals have ruined a perfectly good word. I like the word gay. Gaye was a popular name at one time (sic "Enola Gay"). Gay and carefree was a popular expression.

Homosexuality is and was a common phenomenom in the Jewish world. No matter how much homosexuals wish it, it will never be accepted.
